    Wow, I always heard he wasn't big on autographs, at least when it came to SW fans. Neat story

    I was curious about the Alsetta too. This is all I could find.
    Apparently they credit Art Arfons for it. Insanity.

    Spotted this one at the Coker Tire/Power Tour block party last week.

    And last year in Cleveland.

    Saw this one at Caffeine & Octane in Marietta earlier this month.

    I was really diggin the vintage wheels with body colored centers...and the fact that they drove it hard enough to bust the fender.

    [​IMG]


    Saw this purists nightmare at the Turkey Run the last couple years...I dig it.

    And another from last summer in Cleveland.

  7. I have always thought the same thing. I even built a 64 Vette drag car model when I was a wee lad of 10. It was killer,still in the basement somewhere.

    My first physical car experience was my brother's '57. I did the only humane thing you can to a mid-eighties 'Vette-rebodied it.

  17. Wow I never knew there was this many Corvette lovers on the HAMB, you guys should get together and have a tupperware party! But I guess if your all getting older it is the perfect car to drive because they lock in freshness...LOL

    As long as you drive a Corvette and are not "Corvette Guys" its ok . In my opion "Corvette Guys" are ass monkeys!

    The only way I like Corvettes are old drag cars.

    I doubt a "Corvette Guy" would drag himself down to "this level"-thank goodness! I think the majority of people here deep down are "Car Guys" who have merely settled into the specific types and eras that are personified here. That is borne out by how often we stray off topic a bit when a non HAMB type car affects the group one way or another. Look who started this thread-and look who'll rein it in if it goes too far. I personally like that. And I like a done well almost any car you can name from an Alfa to a ...well. there's no way a Zender can be done well.
     
  19. agreed. :D
    you go to a show and they all park together and talk amongst themselves. not all vette guys are like that, but goddamn most of them are.

    i love the assheads that pick over my dad's 59. this isn't original, that isn't original. there should be grease pencil marks here, my douche bag should go there. then we tell them it's an original, unrestored survivor, that the motor has never been rebuilt and the body has never been off the frame. yeah, fuck you buddy. it's tough to know what an original vette looks like when your nose is pointed up all the time.

    The problem with Vettes isn't the cars, it's the owners. They can't even get along with each other. You see them lined up at events and the older vettes are sepparated from the smells new crowd. Guy last year pointed out to me that his 67, 427 only had 750 miles on it. That's not a car, that's a statue. No thanks... If it was mine, it'd have another 750 miles on it by Saturday and probably need new tires!

    I've got an autographed pic of the playmate of the year next to the Mako Shark back in the early 70's. Both had great paint jobs! LOL
     
  22. Couldn't agree with you more !!! Its not the cars fault that it usually has an ass monkey for an owner....lol I love your "thats not a car its a staue" line, that is so true and not just about Corvettes but anyone that has a nice old ride and leaves them in the garage, just to worship at the altar of thier coolness...but "Corvette Guys" just seem to take that to the extreme....to the I cant drive my car it could rain , or i will drive it when the FAA grounds all birds so they can't poop on my car ! LOL

    I like it too. I think the fact that it's so ridiculous is what appeals to me.
     
  25. it the same type of dickhead that buys cars at barrett jackson, stores them in a warehouse for a few years just to flip them. they're one of the major reason the average joe can't afford to get into muscle cars anymore. i used to be able to watch it for the cool iron they'd show, but it just disgusts me now. now every 9 toed sumbitch with a 318 powered dodge thinks they have some rare, exotic beast. there is no shortage of good cars out there, they're just not being put on the market because people think they are "investments". i have a strong distaste for those people and i don't give a damn if i offend one of them telling them so.

    I'd settle for a '67 L-88 car with the aluminum heads... An extra motor wouldn't hurt, like a ZL-1 with some exotic crossram Weber intake manifold... An M-22 trans with 3.70 gears out back so I could drive this beast out on the streets... Oh yeah!.... It's gotta have the sidepipes... :D :) Am I dreaming too much???
     
  27. I've driven this car. :eek: (sure, it was only 30 feet, but still.......:cool:)

    I saw this sweet little 63 roadster on Ebay the other day and it really grabbed me. I love the simplicity of it. The solid color, cragars, leg-pipes, and mild fender radius is just right. I had a simular 65 and it was a great little car. Mid-year Vettes are hard to beat.
